I can't tell you how invaluable it is to have a machine make a store-bought looking card in a matter of seconds when a birthday or holiday catches me off guard.

The kids really loved the silver vinyl snowflakes we stuck to the window. I've made a really great gift for my daughter that I'll be sharing later this week along with a couple other creations.

Christmas has come early!

If you were disappointed that you didn't win the last Silhouette giveaway on Grosgrain there's still hope! Silhouette is has teamed up again to offer ANOTHERsilhouette to another lucky Grosgrain reader as well as an amazing offer for the rest of you!

Would also make a REALLY great gift for a crafty spouse or friend! But also, MAKES really great gifts! Use your machine to save $$$$ on all those expensive greeting cards, package tags and decorations.

In case you missed the last giveaway let me tell you a little bit about the Silhouette.

First off I want to differentiate this from the Cricut which IMHO has nothing on the Silhouette. The major difference being you DON'T have to buy EXPENSIVE cartridges which (to me) makes the Cricut cost prohibitive. You have the freedom to create whatever you want. Whatever font you have installed on your computer, you can cut out with the Silhouette machine and your computer.

You can cut images that are 39" long! That's long enough for a life sized birch tree vinyl cutout. Speaking of cutouts you can make your own images! Want to make a silhouette of your family's profiles to frame over the mantlepiece? YOU CAN with the Silhouette.

And here's another great part. If you want to purchase something from the Silhouette library (which has some GREAT boxes BTW) you can purchase them individually online for only 99 cents a piece. Compare that to Cricut which charges you $60 per cartridge with about 50 images you may or may not want and one font AND you'd have to drive out to the store to buy it.

My 3 year old daughter is famous in church for being the naughty one. Yesterday she made christmas ornaments and was so quiet! I want one of these machines so bad... I will be able to craft and daughter will be able to sit still for more than 5 seconds at a time.
